GH administering question

Dalia is about to start GH any day now and for some reason the " guy "

at the endo's office who handles getting it set up ordered the kind

with exposed needle. We asked to have the " pen " type. He said no

problem...he also said that the " pen " type has to be refrigerated and

the other type doesn't. Does this make sense? Was I doing the right

thing in asking for the " pen " type?

I am going to call him and ask as well, but I figured some of you

could answer from experience. Anything else I should ask or look out

for?

Thanks,

Quick update...I spoke with the guy and basically the choices are

a " mini quick " which does not need refrigeration, it is a single

dose per needle so you just throw it away after each dose...you have

to plunge the needle in yourself. The other choice is the pen from

Genotropin, which I guess also has an exposed needle, and has to be

refrigerated b/c it is multiple doses in the pen (I know you all

probably know this).

They submitted this to insurance with a diagnosis of FTT/SGA and not

RSS. Would she be better off with the RSS diagnosis and have more

choices like Nutropen, etc?

What should I do?

Hi Sheryl,

AS far as I know, all growth hormone has to be refrigerated. Pen type

or regular syringe.

I prefer the pen type. For me it is easier to use.

I hope this helps.
